Pele had to go for that swinging arm. It was utterly stupid.
But am I the only one in thinking that (thankfully) the fist didn't make contact?
However definition of 'punch' is 'striking with the fist'.
I suppose the term is used in a more liberal sense in RL.
Overall Hull were woeful and they looked totally disjointed. They didn't do the basics right. They were ill-disciplined. The debutants were very disappointing and they didn't appear to have any sort of game plan.
The injuries and (wrong - in my opinion) first sending of didn't help.
Jack Ashworth was one of the few Hull players who had a reasonable game.
Tony Smith has a massive job in front of him.
KR must be wondering how they didn't score more. And Hiku had a nightmare with the boot. Lewis carried on where he left off last year. Tanginoa was a handful and the Litten/Parcell rotation worked well. Unlike FC, KR looked like they'd been playing together for quite a long time.
Great crowd, shame about game quality.
